@study100 do you think you could help me out with this one?

Answer 2

No he doesnt have enough tubing and he will need 3 1/3 more

Answer 3

is that the answer?

Answer 4

First you need to find how many feet in total are the 24 pieces of copper
24* (5/6) = 20 ft.
Now that he needs 20 ft, that means he needs:
20-17= 3 ft more

Answer 5

3 feet or 3 1/3

Answer 6

24* 5 = 120 ft
120/6 = 20 ft.

Answer 7

Answer is 3 feet.
